Student cell phone policy is up for review

What happened

The October 14 agenda lists policy JICJ, Student Use of Cell Phones and Other Personal Technology Devices, among six policies recommended for update. The September 9 agenda also recommended paying the policy group CASB $14,000 for a full policy overhaul. The text of the proposed change was not in the documents read.

Why it matters to families

Phone rules affect every student's school day. The agenda shows the policy is under review but does not say what the new rules are.

The evidence

The October 14 agenda lists "Policy Update Recommendations" BE, BG, JICJ, IKF, IKF-R and IHCDA. The September 9 agenda lists "approve $14,000 for CASB to perform a policy overhaul." This is a proposal-stage item.
